modify dataProvider update to support nested endpoint with multiple ids

I'm trying to modify the simple-rest dataProvider so that I can send requests to endpoints that require more than one id. For example, I have some container entity that I need to list, and then this entity has some items that I want to edit using a form. However, the methods should be able to support either case. For example: Endpoint 1 - /api/scheduler/id - supports GET and POST Endpoint 2 - /api/container/id - supports GET Endpoint 3/ /api/container/id/item-id - supports GET and POST note that I'm using POST for updates. The easiest way seems to be to add another parameter to the update method, but that doesn't work since "Property 'itemId' does not exist on type 'UpdateParams<TVariables>'". What's the correct way to handle that?

Hi @Stormlight. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To modify the simple-rest dataProvider to support nested endpoints with multiple IDs, you can use the meta parameter in the update method. This approach allows you to pass additional information to the dataProvider without modifying its core structure. Here's how you can achieve this: 1. First, customize the simple-rest dataProvider by swizzling it. You can do this by running the swizzle command in your project directory:

npm run refine swizzle

npm run refine swizzle

Then select @refinedev/simple-rest from the list of available data providers. 2. After swizzling, edit the /rest-data-provider/index.ts file to customize the update method. Here's an example of how you can modify it:

import { DataProvider } from "@refinedev/core";
import axios from "axios";

export const dataProvider = (apiUrl: string): DataProvider => ({
  // ... other methods

  update: async ({ resource, id, variables, meta }) => {
    const url = meta?.itemId
      ? `${apiUrl}/${resource}/${id}/${meta.itemId}`
      : `${apiUrl}/${resource}/${id}`;

    const { data } = await axios.post(url, variables);

    return {
      data,
    };
  },

  // ... other methods
});

import { DataProvider } from "@refinedev/core";
import axios from "axios";

export const dataProvider = (apiUrl: string): DataProvider => ({
  // ... other methods

  update: async ({ resource, id, variables, meta }) => {
    const url = meta?.itemId
      ? `${apiUrl}/${resource}/${id}/${meta.itemId}`
      : `${apiUrl}/${resource}/${id}`;

    const { data } = await axios.post(url, variables);

    return {
      data,
    };
  },

  // ... other methods
});

3. Now, when using the update method or the useUpdate hook, you can pass the additional itemId in the meta object:

const { mutate } = useUpdate();

mutate({
  resource: "container",
  id: containerId,
  variables: { /* your update data */ },
  meta: {
    itemId: itemId,
  },
});

const { mutate } = useUpdate();

mutate({
  resource: "container",
  id: containerId,
  variables: { /* your update data */ },
  meta: {
    itemId: itemId,
  },
});

This approach allows you to handle both nested and non-nested endpoints without modifying the core structure of the dataProvider. The meta object is flexible, so you can pass any additional information you need for specific requests. For more information on customizing data providers and using the meta parameter, you can refer to the following resources: 1. Customizing the data provider 2. Overriding specific methods of Data Providers Remember to adjust the implementation according to your specific API requirements and error handling needs. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I see. Now, let's say that the /api/container endpoint returns a list of all the items. I then want to create a form that will list all the items (most of them are switches), and instead of having a save button, it should handle changes directly and update individual items using the item endpoint. For switches/toggles it should open a confirmation warning dialog immediately on change. If it's a text/number input, then the item should have some button to apply the change (as I don't want it to update on every tick). What's the correct approach to do that? I'm using useModalForm for initiating and displaying the form.

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To implement the functionality you described, you'll need to combine several refine features and hooks. Here's an approach to achieve what you're looking for: 1. First, use useList to fetch all items from the /api/container endpoint. 2. Create a custom form component that uses useModalForm for the overall modal management. 3. Inside the form, map through the items and create individual form controls for each item. 4. For switches/toggles, use useUpdate hook to handle immediate updates with a confirmation dialog. 5. For text/number inputs, create a local state to manage changes and use a separate "Apply" button for each input to trigger the update. Here's a basic implementation to get you started:

import { useList, useUpdate, useNotification } from "@refinedev/core";
import { useModalForm } from "@refinedev/mantine";
import { Modal, Switch, TextInput, Button, Group } from "@mantine/core";
import { useState } from "react";

const ItemsForm = () => {
  const { data, isLoading } = useList({
    resource: "container",
  });

  const { mutate } = useUpdate();
  const { open } = useNotification();

  const {
    modal: { visible, close },
    formProps,
  } = useModalForm({
    refineCoreProps: { action: "edit" },
  });

  const [localChanges, setLocalChanges] = useState({});

  const handleSwitchChange = (itemId, checked) => {
    if (window.confirm("Are you sure you want to change this item?")) {
      mutate(
        {
          resource: "container",
          id: itemId,
          values: { checked },
        },
        {
          onSuccess: () => {
            open({
              message: "Item updated successfully",
              type: "success",
            });
          },
        }
      );
    }
  };

  const handleInputChange = (itemId, value) => {
    setLocalChanges((prev) => ({ ...prev, [itemId]: value }));
  };
const handleApplyChange = (itemId) => {
    mutate(
      {
        resource: "container",
        id: itemId,
        values: { value: localChanges[itemId] },
      },
      {
        onSuccess: () => {
          open({
            message: "Item updated successfully",
            type: "success",
          });
          setLocalChanges((prev) => ({ ...prev, [itemId]: undefined }));
        },
      }
    );
  };

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;

  return (
    <Modal opened={visible} onClose={close} title="Edit Items">
      <form {...formProps}>
        {data?.data.map((item) => (
          <Group key={item.id} mt="xs">
            {item.type === "switch" ? (
              <Switch
                label={item.label}
                checked={item.checked}
                onChange={(event) => handleSwitchChange(item.id, event.currentTarget.checked)}
              />
            ) : (

                <TextInput
                  label={item.label}
                  value={localChanges[item.id] ?? item.value}
                  onChange={(event) => handleInputChange(item.id, event.currentTarget.value)}
                />
                <Button onClick={() => handleApplyChange(item.id)}>Apply</Button>
              </>
            )}
          </Group>

import { useList, useUpdate, useNotification } from "@refinedev/core";

      },
      {
        onSuccess: () => {
          open({
            message: "Item updated successfully",
            type: "success",
          });
          setLocalChanges((prev) => ({ ...prev, [itemId]: undefined }));
        },
      }
    );
  };

  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;

  return (
    <Modal opened={visible} onClose={close} title="Edit Items">
      <form {...formProps}>
        {data?.data.map((item) => (
          <Group key={item.id} mt="xs">
            {item.type === "switch" ? (
              <Switch
                label={item.label}
                checked={item.checked}
                onChange={(event) => handleSwitchChange(item.id, event.currentTarget.checked)}
              />
            ) : (
              <>
                <TextInput
                  label={item.label}
                  value={localChanges[item.id] ?? item.value}
                  onChange={(event) => handleInputChange(item.id, event.currentTarget.value)}
                />
                <Button onClick={() => handleApplyChange(item.id)}>Apply</Button>
              </>
            )}
          </Group>
        ))}
      </form>
    </Modal>
  );
};

This example uses Mantine components, but you can adapt it to your preferred UI library. Here's a breakdown of the key parts: 1. We use useList to fetch all items from the container. 2. useModalForm manages the overall modal state. 3. useUpdate is used to send update requests to the server. 4. For switches, we use a confirmation dialog and immediately update on change. 5. For text inputs, we use local state (localChanges) to manage changes and only update when the "Apply" button is clicked. Remember to adjust the code according to your specific API structure and error handling requirements. For more information on the hooks and components used, you can refer to: 1. useList hook 2. useUpdate hook 3. useModalForm hook for Mantine 4. useNotification hook This approach should give you a good starting point for implementing your desired functionality. You may need to further customize it based on your specific requirements and UI design. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai adjust the answer for antD

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Certainly! I'll adjust the previous answer to use Ant Design components instead of Mantine. Here's the modified implementation using Ant Design:

import { useList, useUpdate } from "@refinedev/core";
import { useModalForm } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Modal, Switch, Input, Button, Form, Space, notification } from "antd";
import { useState } from "react";

const ItemsForm = () => {
  const { data, isLoading } = useList({
    resource: "container",
  });

  const { mutate } = useUpdate();

  const { modalProps, formProps } = useModalForm({
    action: "edit",
  });

  const [localChanges, setLocalChanges] = useState({});

  const handleSwitchChange = (itemId, checked) => {
    Modal.confirm({
      title: "Are you sure you want to change this item?",
      onOk: () => {
        mutate(
          {
            resource: "container",
            id: itemId,
            values: { checked },
          },
          {
            onSuccess: () => {
              notification.success({
                message: "Item updated successfully",
              });
            },
          }
        );
      },
    });
  };

  const handleInputChange = (itemId, value) => {
    setLocalChanges((prev) => ({ ...prev, [itemId]: value }));
  };

  const handleApplyChange = (itemId) => {
    mutate(
      {
        resource: "container",
        id: itemId,
        values: { value: localChanges[itemId] },

          });
          setLocalChanges((prev) => ({ ...prev, [itemId]: undefined }));

                <>
                  <Input
                    value={localChanges[item.id] ?? item.value}

            <Space>
              {item.type === "switch" ? (
                <Switch
                  checked={item.checked}
                  onChange={(checked) => handleSwitchChange(item.id, checked)}
                />
              ) : (
                <>

                    value={localChanges[item.id] ?? item.value}
                    onChange={(e) => handleInputChange(item.id, e.target.value)}
                  />

          </Form.Item>
        ))}
      </Form>
    </Modal>
  );
};

This implementation uses Ant Design components and hooks from @refinedev/antd. Here are the key changes: 1. We're now using useModalForm from @refinedev/antd instead of Mantine. 2. Ant Design's Modal, Switch, Input, Button, Form, and Space components are used. 3. For notifications, we're using Ant Design's notification API instead of the useNotification hook. 4. The confirmation dialog for switches uses Ant Design's Modal.confirm method. The overall logic remains the same as in the previous example. This implementation should work well with your Ant Design-based refine application. For more information on the Ant Design components and hooks used, you can refer to: 1. useModalForm hook for Ant Design 2. Ant Design Modal component 3. Ant Design Form component Remember to adjust the code according to your specific API structure and error handling requirements. This example should provide a good starting point for implementing your desired functionality with Ant Design components in a refine application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Another unrelated question... when I refresh the page, currently it always go to my home page. In the fine-foods-antd example, when I refresh the page it goes back to what it was before (in most cases). How can this be done?

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To implement the behavior you're describing, where refreshing the page maintains the current route instead of redirecting to the home page, you need to use the syncWithLocation option in refine. This feature is indeed used in the fine-foods-antd example to achieve the behavior you've observed. Here's how you can implement this in your refine application: 1. In your App.tsx file (or wherever you have your <Refine> component), add the syncWithLocation option to the options prop of the <Refine> component:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";

function App() {
  return (
    <Refine
      // ... other props
      options={{
        syncWithLocation: true,
        // ... other options
      }}
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </Refine>
  );
}

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";

function App() {
  return (
    <Refine
      // ... other props
      options={{
        syncWithLocation: true,
        // ... other options
      }}
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </Refine>
  );
}

By setting syncWithLocation: true, refine will sync the current location with the browser's URL. This means that when you refresh the page, it will attempt to render the component associated with the current URL path. You can find more information about this feature in the Refine documentation on syncWithLocation. Additionally, to ensure that your routes are properly set up to handle direct URL access (which is what happens when you refresh the page), make sure you have defined all your routes correctly in your router configuration. If you're using react-router-dom, your route configuration might look something like this:

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Refine
        // ... other props
        options={{ syncWithLocation: true }}
      >
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
          <Route path="/posts" element={<PostList />} />
          <Route path="/posts/:id" element={<PostShow />} />
          {/* ... other routes */}
        </Routes>
      </Refine>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
}

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
function App() {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Refine
        // ... other props
        options={{ syncWithLocation: true }}
      >
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
          <Route path="/posts" element={<PostList />} />
          <Route path="/posts/:id" element={<PostShow />} />
          {/* ... other routes */}
        </Routes>
      </Refine>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
}

By implementing these changes, your application should maintain the current route when refreshing the page, similar to the behavior you've observed in the fine-foods-antd example. Refine documentation on syncWithLocation Remember to test thoroughly after making these changes to ensure that all your routes and components behave as expected when refreshing the page. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I do have this option set to true. What might interfere with that?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- If you already have syncWithLocation: true set in your <Refine> component options and you're still experiencing issues with page refreshes redirecting to the home page, there could be a few factors interfering with this behavior. Let's explore some possible reasons: 1. Authentication issues: If your authProvider is not properly handling the authentication state on page refresh, it might redirect to the home page. Make sure your authProvider.check() method is correctly implemented and preserving the authentication state across page reloads. 2. Router configuration: Ensure that your router is properly configured to handle all routes. If you're using Next.js, make sure your pages are correctly set up in the pages directory. 3. Server-side rendering issues: If you're using server-side rendering (SSR) with Next.js, there might be discrepancies between server-side and client-side routing. Check your _app.tsx and _document.tsx files for any code that might interfere with routing. 4. Custom layout components: If you have custom layout components wrapping your pages, ensure they're not inadvertently redirecting to the home page. 5. Middleware or interceptors: Check if you have any middleware or interceptors that might be interfering with the routing process. 6. Browser extensions: Sometimes browser extensions can interfere with routing. Try disabling extensions and testing in an incognito/private browsing window. 7. Caching issues: Clear your browser cache and try again. Sometimes, cached resources can cause unexpected behavior. To further diagnose the issue, you could: 1. Check the browser console for any errors or warnings that might provide clues. 2. Use browser developer tools to monitor network requests and see if there are any unexpected redirects happening. 3. Add console logs or debugger statements in your routing logic and auth provider to trace the flow of execution on page refresh. If you're using Next.js with Refine, make sure you're using the @refinedev/nextjs-router package and have set it up correctly. The Next.js router documentation provides details on how to set this up properly. Without more specific information about your setup, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact cause. If you've checked all these points and are still experiencing issues, you might want to create a minimal reproducible example and share it on the Refine GitHub issues for more targeted assistance from the Refine team. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
